Abstract
In onshore Almada Basin, northeast of Brazil, sandy<br>and/or conglomeratic turbidites and shales outcrops of<br>Urucutuca Formation occurs. These rocks are part of<br>an exhumed portion of the filling-section of the<br>Almada Canyon. Such outcrops are unique examples<br>of passive margin transgressive marine sequence<br>turbidites in Brazil, which were sedimented during<br>the Maastritchian/Campanian. They are analogues to<br>some important turbidite reservoirs of Campos Basin,<br>which is the most productive oil basin in Brazil. To<br>aid studies of internal geometry and facies association<br>which will help to improve the knowledge of the<br>properties of such kind of rocks, a GPR (Ground<br>Penetrating Radar) survey was performed in this<br>region. This work aims to show the first results<br>obtained at one of the outcrops.
